It`s not the same for us lyrics

Artist  : Level 42 
Song : It`s not the same for us
 

I know you live on my street
I sometimes wonder
why we don`t meet
I`ve seen your face in the sky
twenty-five stories high
you never come down to earth
communication (communication)
could hardly be much worse
don`t keep me here in the dark
I want to be your friend
your fears are way off the mark

every generation
sees it their own way
never learning their lessons
making the same mistakes again

it`s not the same for us - as history fades away
it`s not the same for us - you must hear me when
I say

look out on this brave new land
think of the future
the future that lays in our hands
our leaders live in the past
we can change it
there`s something to hope for at last

every generation
sees it their own way
why don`t we learn our lessons
don`t make the same mistakes again

(Chorus)

what dreams are you chasing now?
what are you living for? 
the problems that we`re facing now
nobody faced before 
please don`t reject me
in anger or in sorrow 
you`ve got to accept me
if we`re to make a better tomorrow

it`s not the same - it`s not the same for us
